Joan Laporta

[Barcilliant]

Why is Laporta holding a press conference?

 

[jairzinho]

To expose Barto

 

[jairzinho]

Do you have a better relationship with Laporta than Bartomeu?

Piqu?: "Oof, what a question. Well, yeah, I can't lie. With Bartomeu we felt tricked and lied to. Jan (Laporta) is much more close to the players and I think he is bringing order to the club."

Pique?: "FC Barcelona is the biggest club in the world. We now start this new era without Leo, but we will get through it. The best people for the job are running the club and Barca has already went through these sort of situations before."

 

[impeh]

press conference

Laporta: "We have a salary bill that represents 103% of the club's total income."

So it's still 103% even with Messi gone ?

 

[Sterlingfan2000]

Laporta: "The sports payroll is 617 million euros, between 25% and 30% more than our competitors."

617 Million Wage Bill. I am fucking done

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Laporta: "We have a salary bill that represents 103% of the club's total income."

So it's still 103% even with Messi gone ?

After Memphis and other new guys? (Registered players?)

Laporta looks under serious stress.

Looks on verge of tears half the time.

 

[FC433]

Laporta: "We arrived and the club had already received 50% of the TV rights in advance."

Laporta: "The salary policy that we stumbled upon from the previous board is wrong, it's what the experts call the inverted pyramid, where veterans have long contracts and young players have short ones, and that makes it very difficult to renegotiate contracts."

Laporta: "The sports payroll is 617 million euros, between 25% and 30% more than our competitors."

uffff

Laporta looks under serious stress.

Cannot blame him, honestly. Bartomeu left a genuine mess to him.

 

[FC433]

Laporta "Today the debt is 1350m! The economic situation is very worrying.”

@JoanLaportaFCB: ❝Bar?a has a negative net worth of €451m.❞

Wow

 

[Devils]

We're finished.

 

[Sterlingfan2000]

We're finished.

Let's hope for the Super League

 

[FC433]

We're finished.

Not at all because:


- this debt figure is gross, not net
- we will be financed by UEFA pretty soon
- our major issue is that most of our debt is short-term; however, with some help, we should be fine
- we have plenty of excellent young players coming through, should help us for a couple of seasons

 

[FC433]

Laporta: "The Johan Cruyff stadium had a budget of 4 million and has cost 20 million euros."

Laporta: "CVC was to mortgage television rights for half a century, and it is not structured as an income but as a debt. The legal structure is not that they make a payment to us, it is like a loan."
